15. STUDENTS' EXNORA It will indeed be Exnora’s privilege to work with educational institutions to realise the common mission of developing the students’ resource and through them build a strong nation and to protect, preserve and promote nature. Today’s students are tomorrow’s citizens. Those who are in schools and colleges today are going to be the future ministers, administrators, judges, scientists, engineers, doctors, chartered accountants, lawyers, officers, workers, etc. If only we concentrate on them, provide them a lot of moral inputs and mould them as good citizens and good leaders, the future of the nation will be indeed very bright. If not, there will be far reaching consequences. “Catch them young”, they said. In order to realize this objective, the students can be asked to join the Students’ Exnora of their School or College which has various types of activities. They can form one if it is not there. They are bound to equip themselves on the important subject called Environment . With the accelerated environmental degradation that is taking place, knowledge on types of pollutions and possession of various solutions is looked as an advantage not only from the commercial point of view but from the angle of personal benefit to students by way of employment opportunities . Students should learn every thing on environment as they learn languages and computer which will be considered as an additional advantage from the view point of getting employment..
